Day 19

Today was actually quite hard. I thought something was happening that would make it necessary to have the baby, so naturally I got scared and sad and depressed. Fortunately, it looks like everything is fine, so don't worry folks. I just never fully recovered from the depressed feelings that came over me.

So, I vented about all the things that are hard about my situation. I wrote a big long post all about it, posted it, and deleted it. While it did feel good to get that out of my system, there's no reason why it needs to be recorded for you and my posterity to see. Instead, I'm going to end my not-so-good day by accentuating the positive, and hopefully I'll fall quickly and soundly to sleep.


These are in no particular order:


I'm almost done with my baby quilt that I'm quilting by hand (never done that before- hope I'm doing it right)

Joel visited me when I didn't think he'd be able to AND he brought me a yummy fruit smoothie

I still have a baby in my tummy, thank goodness!

I finished reading a cute, fairy tale retelling

I found a good deal online for ice cream sandwich makers, so when I'm home I can make gluten free ice cream sandwiches for Clara

I got to take a refreshing shower today

I had delicious cake at dinner (I really need to lay off the desserts while I'm here or I'm gonna be in trouble!)

I'm more than halfway done with my cross-stitch pattern I'm working on

The temperature in my room is lower than yesterday, so maybe tonight I'll actually sleep with my blanket.

I'm only hours away from being 30 weeks pregnant.

I've felt baby move a lot more today than he's been moving the last few days (maybe that means I have some more fluid to swim and just maybe he'll flip his head back down to where it should be)

I got to watch What Not Wear, one of my favorite shows.

I listened to the CD my friend Heidi made for me with music from The King's Speech, Finding Nemo, Up and a really cool song I've never heard before. It was very relaxing.



You know, after brainstorming all the good things about this bad day, I'm starting to feel like it wasn't such a bad day after all. I think I will sleep well tonight.

You've gotta accentuate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative-
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
